Starter Kit Melee: Leadership DRM?

[robertdelwood]

To be clear, in CC/Melee, a leader gets to modify their own DR, and also modify the enemy's DR?

 

[Perry]

A leader never modifies an enemy DR.
He would modify the DR of a unit he is stacked with, but he would not modify his own DR if stacked alone.

 

[robertdelwood]

Then what does this sentence mean: A leader may direct the CC of the MMC it attacks and defends with (and any other unit which joins that MMC in a combined CC attack) by applying his leadership DRM to modify the CC DR...

What does "and defends with" mean?

 

[ScottRomanowski]

The earlier sentences of that paragraph should explain it. First, if a SMC attacks alone it must defend alone. If it attacks with other units, it can add its FP to one unit (that it is stacked above to indicate that). Since a leader can't direct its own attack, in order to direct an attack it must be combined with another unit, they attack together (possibly with other units) and defend -- are attacked -- together (again, possibly with other units if you opponent so chooses).
